VOL IX A Miracle in Vermont. THE WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE OF A WELL-KNOWN CHELSEA MAN. i ■trlclceu with an Incurable Dleeaee and yrt Cured. (From the Argui and Patriot, Montpelier, 17.) Eight years ago Geo. Hutchinson moved i from Bradford to ('he)sea, Vt., and bought the saw mill at the latter place. He was known as one of the strong'-:,! men in that section. <>n Hee. 20, ’92 while at work in the mill, he was struck in the back by a flying board, which seriously injured him an<l incapacitated him for work of any kind. As a result of this, Locomotor Ataxia set in, (this is a form of paralysis which deprives the patient of all use of his lower limbs.) The Aryiin Sc Patriot interviewed Mr. Hutch inson to day, and his story is here given in his own words. “My back ached continually and my legs began to grow numb and to be less ami less usable. By the 15th of April I could do absolutely nothing and was scarcely able to aland. My phvsicians advised me to go to the Miry Fletcher Hospital at Burlington, to be tr -oted, and 1 took their advice. When 1 left home my friends bide me good-bye, never expecting to see me alive again. The physicians at the hospital told me that iny case was a serious oue and I was com- ! pletely discouraged. i remained»at the nospital seven weeks and took the medicines which the doctors gave me. I felt better at the hospital and thought that I was recover ing, an I went home to continue their treat ment, which I did for two months, and also had an electric battery under their advice. The improvement, however, did not continue _ und I b‘b?an to give up hope. August Ist, * ""FMskk 1 c >uhl not get out of my chair without assistitßce, and if I got down upon the floor, I could noi-ggt U P alone. About this time I I chanced to read an account of the wonder- | fill curative powers of Dr. Williams’ Fuji i’ills for Pale People in cases similar to t-F 'i own. I did not have any faith in the ,'J* t-’ but thought a trial could do no harm, B'!*\ bought some without telling anyone what j , was going to do. After I had been taking them some time I found that, for the first time in months I was able to walk down to the post office, and my neighbors began to dis- I cuss the marked improvement in my health. I As I continued the medicine I continued to improve, mid soon recommenced work in the mill, nl first very lightly, and increasing as I was able and as I gained in health amt spirits, ami now for the past three months I have been working ten hours per day almost as steadily as I ever did. I feel well, eat well ami sleep well as I ever did and I have no pain anywhere.” The reporter talked with several other gen- . tlemcn in regard to the case of Mr. Ilutchin- | son, who stated that any statement he might make would be entitled to entire credence.

Not Cultivated to Any Great Extent In the u outh a* Yet. Questio?;. —Pleave tell mo something i ab »nt Vetch, which I have heard highly I recommended us a forage plant for the south? Answer. —As yet tl.ir crop is not cul tivated to any groat extent. A few ' men, notably iiaj >r Warren of Augusta, have cultivated it with great success i and a recent special bulletin of the i United States department of agricul | ture speaks of the Hairy, Sand or Rus- | sian Vetch (known by all throe names) as one of the most pr imising fodder ' crops introduced into this country in re cent years. It withstands heat and cold and drouth, and while it will give a fair crop on poor land, is as are all other for age crops, most profitable on rich and well prepared land. It is eaten with relish by all farm animals, makes a most desirable ensilage, and is a most excellent forage plant for soiling pur p< sos. On account of its habit of growth jit is difficult to cure as hay. As to time ’ of sowing, etc., we quote from the bul letin: “Hairy Vetches may be planted from about the middle of August to the middle of September, or in spring from th.- latter part of April until the middle iof May. Sow broadcast at the rate of a bushel an.l a half of seed per acre, or I plant in chills two to four feet apart, i The latter plan will require a smaller j amount of seed. The seed are as yet I expensive, about $6 a bushel of GO *i pounds. When the seed is put in brotul | cast a bushel of oats, rye or wheat ■ should bo sown at the same time so as I to furnish a support for the vetches and I keep the vines off the ground. If it is I sown in drills in the latter part of Aug | ust it should be cultivated several times I between the rows. It will furnish some i forage in autumn, and where the winter ' is not too severe it will start to grow : again in the spring, thus producing for- I age in late autumn and early spring, at I the two periods when it is most ; needed.” At the Mississippi experiment , station seed of this crop was sown in No attention has been given it j ami each year its seeds germinate with 1 the first fall rains, and in favorable sca- I sons cover the ground by January 1, furnishing good grazing until April or May. If the stock is taken off in March the plants mature and reseed the ground freely for (he next year. This crop will not flourish o:.-> wet land, it likes a well drained soil. If sown in the fall it prevents washing during the winter. It is to be fed when the vines begin to blossom, and the feed should at first be limited until the ani mals become accustomed to the change of food. For the best feeding results it should be given with coarse fodder or hay. Howard, in his Manual on the “Cul tivation of the Grasses and Forage Plants at the South,” mentions the winter and summer vetch and also one or two native varieties, and speaks iu commendation of their use both as a forage crop, and as an im prover of the soil—more especially iu those soils too sandy for the successful growth of red clover, A gentleman of long experience in its culture, speaks of the ordinary vetch as one of the simplest grasses grown. He says that peas do not excel it as a land improver. It does not form a sod, is strictly an annual, but if allowed to mature and drop its seed, they lie dormant during the hot days of summer; then when j the fall rains begin and the nights be come longer and cooler, they begin to | germinate and soon cover the ground. | One advantage is that there need be | only one seeding, and with proper man agement other crops may be made and taken off and the vetch will again spring up spontaneously.—State Agricultural Department. Difference In the Value of Manure, Qufstion'. —Will you explaiu why you speak cf some lot manure as being mere valuable than others, saved from the same class of animals, all kept under shelter, all composted under the same conditions and with the same ingre dients ? Answer. —This question has been Joo little studied by the majority of farmers. There is a prevailing idea that “manure is manure,” and no matter what the f<xxl of the animals, or what the vicis situdes of winds and weather to which j it is exposed, it is all equally valuable and will retain its elements of plant food unimpaired. Careful study and experiment have revealed the fact, that we can so regulate the fotxl of our ani mals as to both quantity and quality, as to control the fertilizing elements of the manure. For instance, that con tained an abandonee of nitrogen, would produce manure rich in this element— and the same holds true of phosphoric acid and potash. At the Cornell Sta tion, justly celebrated, it was shown : that if animals were properly fed and sheltered, and the manure carefully saved, 71 per cent of the potash, phos phoric acid and nitrogen of plant food : was recovered in the manure. It has also been shown that poor feed makes a poor quality of manure, and that man ure exposed in the barnyard foi- some time before using, loses at least half its valuable constituents—you can thus readily understand that manure varies greatly in its fertilizing value, and that in feeding our aYiimalsjwe should study to produce the richest manure, aud also I endeavor by proper feed to produce that quality of manure best suited to the pur pose and crop for which we intend to use 1 it.— State Agricultural Department. McGREGOR, TEXAS. , lam a native of Chattooga county and a constant reader cf the Chattooga News, which is , brimful of “news from home”and each issue is a welcome visitor to, our home and is appreciated be yond my ability to appraise it. Suffice it to say that we could not very well do without it. ; Wou’d that every reader of the : News could sae Texas as it now appears, with its boundless prairies covered with a mat of grass, a beautiful green tint, varying from two to six inches in height, inter mingled with the most beautiful Howers that God in His infinite wisdom, placed in this, the North Temperate zone. Each, from tho tiny daisy to the full blown rose, is vicing with his neighbor in col or, odor and loveliness. Many off the nv st beautiful Howers which are cultivated and prized so highly L. irgia, grow wild on the prai ries. The atmosphere is filled with a perfume which is delightful be yond nesciipt’/u. This could at this season be very appropriately termed the “Laud of Howers,” and “meat nurse for a poetic child.” Had I but the expression of Shake speare or the vocabulary of Web ster I then might describe to you tho beauties of the western prairies Beautiful little cities of recent growth, are scattered over the coun try with but few miles intervening; these are situated where only a few years ago wild cattle, wolves, buffaloes, pan hers, wildcats, etc., roamed at leisure. The beautiful town of A— which has twenty-five hundred inhabitants, was twelve years ago an immense prairie. It now has six beautiful churches, quite a number of business estab lishments, an oil mill, an opera house, a $20,000 college building, and the foundation for a large cot ton mill is being is being laid, also a large and commodious compress is nearing completion. In this town there is more commerce car ried on than in Rome, Georgia. The people of Texas are thor oughly awake to their duty in regard to education. Many are the grand institutions of learning that are scattered over the state and sufficiently near that all may secure an education. One of these is the Bayljr University or Sum mer Normal situated at Waco. This is devoted to teachers that the}’ may better prepare themselves for their occupation. It continues through June and July and when a person attends this Normal one summer, he can with no trouble, secure a first grade teacher’s cer tificate which is good for four years. Another noted seat of learning is the Sam Houston or State Normal situated at Hunts ville, Texas. A diploma from this Institute grants a person a ten year’s certificate for -teaching school. Tae public schools of Texas con tinue five months, beginning the first of November and closing the last of March. The extreme heat of summer prevents teaching in that season. Teachers are paid a salary varying from if 35.00 to $l5O per month, wages received at the close of each month. Any one de siring further information concern ing Texas or school teaching in Texas. I will gladly impart to them my experience since casting my lot with these good people. My address can be had through this paper. * * *- _ Buoklen’s Arnica Salve.

SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, APRIL 29, 1896 Two Physicians Arrested. Chattanooga, Tenn , April 21. —Richard A. Baker, a carpenter living at St. Elmo, a suburb of this city, brought suit today against Drs. R. J. Trippe and 11. B. Wil son, prominent physicians, alleg ing that they killed his wife by reckless and criminal administra tion of chloroform. The arrest of the two physicians was also caused on a warrant. Mrs. Baker died recently under tho influence of chloroform. The affair has caus ed a sensation in medical circles. During tho winter of 1893, F. M, Martin, cf Long Reach, West Va., contracted a severe cold which left him with a cough. In speak ing of how lie cured it he says: “I used several kinds of cough syrup but found no relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, which relieved me almost instantly, and in a short time brought about a complete cure.” When troubled with a cough or cold use tliis remedy and you will not find it necessary to try several kinds before you getrelief.

Out west they have a game call ed “Frog,” and one evening not long since a prominent citizen was sitting in a saloon with his back to the door, playing his favorite game with two kindred spirits. Di rectly the partner of his joys, who happened to belong to the order of “new women,” silently entered the saloon, unobserved and took her position behind his chair- The cards had been dealt; it came the prominent citizen’s turn to say what would be his line of .action in the game. Striking the trifle with his hand, he shouted, ' “I frog!” “Well, then you jump!” shouted the irate wife as she brought her open hand down with lightning rapidity on his devoted head. He jumped! :nd his part ners fled, and now the prominent village citizen rejoices in the fact that he is a “new man” safely moored to the apron strings of his “new woman.” Registration Notice.

The Liberal says: ‘“The Spanish mothers whoso 130,000 sons are about to bo expo sed to tho deadly climate of Cuba during the rainy season, the Span ish tax payers who ; >pprehend tho consequences of the heavy cost of a prolonged civil war and, indeed, the whole nation at heart would gladly welcome tho pacification of Cuba by an early, sincere conces sion of reforms now admitted by almost al; Spanish politicians to bo urgent and inevitable.’ “His prevalent impression in many circles that' the best course for Spain to pursue is to bow to tho pressure and cir cumstances ore it is .too late and do with good grace what possibly avert Cuban independence as procrastination and misguided postponement of tardy concessions may lead to a conflict with Ameri ca.” On tho other hand, directly tho .jingo papers perceived tho drift < f public opinion they again started an anti-American campaign.
